  1. Viewing Dr. Giorgos A. Demetriou Computer Science Frederick Institute of Technology

  2. Classical Viewing • Viewing requires three basic elements • One or more objects • A viewer with a projection surface • Projectors that go from the object(s) to the projection surface • Classical views are based on the relationship among these elements • The viewer picks up the object and orients it how she would like to see it • Each object is assumed to constructed from flat principal faces • Buildings, polyhedra, manufactured objects

  3. Planar Geometric Projections • Standard projections project onto a plane • Projectors are lines that either • converge at a center of projection • are parallel • Such projections preserve lines • but not necessarily angles • Nonplanar projections are needed for applications such as map construction

  4. Classical Projections

  5. Perspective vs Parallel • Computer graphics treats all projections the same and implements them with a single pipeline • Classical viewing developed different techniques for drawing each type of projection • Fundamental distinction is between parallel and perspective viewing even though mathematically parallel viewing is the limit of perspective viewing

  6. Taxonomy of Planar Geometric Projections parallel planar geometric projections perspective 1 point 2 point 3 point multiview orthographic axonometric oblique isometric dimetric trimetric

  7. Perspective Projection

  8. Parallel Projection

  9. Orthographic Projection • Projectors are orthogonal to projection surface

  10. Multiview Orthographic Projection • Projection plane parallel to principal face • Usually form front, top, side views isometric (not multiview orthographic view) front in CAD and architecture, we often display three multiviews plus isometric side top

  11. Advantages and Disadvantages • Preserves both distances and angles • Shapes preserved • Can be used for measurements • Building plans • Manuals • Cannot see what object really looks like because many surfaces hidden from view • Often we add the isometric

  12. Axonometric Projections Allow projection plane to move relative to object classify by how many angles of a corner of a projected cube are the same none: trimetric two: dimetric three: isometric q 1 q 2 q 3

  13. Types of Axonometric Projections

  14. Advantages and Disadvantages • Lines are scaled (foreshortened) but can find scaling factors • Lines preserved but angles are not • Projection of a circle in a plane not parallel to the projection plane is an ellipse • Can see three principal faces of a box-like object • Some optical illusions possible • Parallel lines appear to diverge • Does not look real because far objects are scaled the same as near objects • Used in CAD applications

  15. Oblique Projection • Arbitrary relationship between projectors and projection plane

  16. Advantages and Disadvantages • Can pick the angles to emphasize a particular face • Architecture: plan oblique, elevation oblique • Angles in faces parallel to projection plane are preserved while we can still see “around” side • In physical world, cannot create with simple camera; possible with bellows camera or special lens (architectural)

  17. Perspective Projection • Projectors coverge at center of projection

  18. Vanishing Points • Parallel lines (not parallel to the projection plan) on the object converge at a single point in the projection (the vanishing point) • Drawing simple perspectives by hand uses these vanishing point(s) vanishing point

  19. Three-Point Perspective • No principal face parallel to projection plane • Three vanishing points for cube

  20. Two-Point Perspective • On principal direction parallel to projection plane • Two vanishing points for cube

  21. One-Point Perspective • One principal face parallel to projection plane • One vanishing point for cube

  22. Advantages and Disadvantages • Objects further from viewer are projected smaller than the same sized objects closer to the viewer (diminuition) • Looks realistic • Equal distances along a line are not projected into equal distances (nonuniform foreshortening) • Angles preserved only in planes parallel to the projection plane • More difficult to construct by hand than parallel projections (but not more difficult by computer)

  23. Computer Viewing • There are three aspects of the viewing process, all of which are implemented in the pipeline, • Positioning the camera • Setting the model-view matrix • Selecting a lens • Setting the projection matrix • Clipping • Setting the view volume

  24. The OpenGL Camera • In OpenGL, initially the world and camera frames are the same • Default model-view matrix is an identity • The camera is located at origin and points in the negative z direction • OpenGL also specifies a default view volume that is a cube with sides of length 2 centered at the origin • Default projection matrix is an identity

  25. DefaultProjection Default projection is orthogonal clipped out 2 z=0

  26. Moving the Camera Frame • If we want to visualize object with both positive and negative z values we can either • Move the camera in the positive z direction • Translate the camera frame • Move the objects in the negative z direction • Translate the world frame • Both of these views are equivalent and are determined by the model-view matrix • Want a translation (glTranslatef(0.0,0.0,-d);) • d > 0

  27. Moving Camera back from Origin default frames frames after translation by –d d > 0

  28. Moving the Camera • We can move the camera to any desired position by a sequence of rotations and translations • Example: side view • Rotate the camera • Move it away from origin • Model-view matrix C = TR

  29. OpenGL code • Remember that last transformation specified is first to be applied glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW) glLoadIdentity(); glTranslatef(0.0, 0.0, -d); glRotatef(90.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0);

  30. The LookAt Function • The GLU library contains the function glLookAt to from the required modelview matrix through a simple interface • Note the need for setting an up direction • Still need to initialize • Can concatenate with modeling transformations • Example: isometric view of cube aligned with axes glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW): glLoadIdentity(); gluLookAt(1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0., 1.0. 0.0);

  31. The LookAt Function (cont.) glLookAt(eyex, eyey, eyez, atx, aty, atz, upx, upy, upz)

  32. Other Viewing APIs • The LookAt function is only one possible API for positioning the camera • Others include • View reference point, view plane normal, view up (PHIGS, GKS-3D) • Yaw, pitch, roll • Elevation, azimuth, twist • Direction angles

  33. Projections and Normalization • The default projection in the eye (camera) frame is orthogonal • For points within the default view volume • Most graphics systems use view normalization • All other views are converted to the default view by transformations that determine the projection matrix • Allows use of the same pipeline for all views xp = x yp = y zp = 0

  34. Homogeneous Coordinate Representation xp = x yp = y zp = 0 wp = 1 pp = Mp M = In practice, we can letM = Iand setthe z term to zero later

  35. Simple Perspective • Center of projection at the origin • Projection plane z = d, d < 0

  36. Perspective Equations Consider top and side views xp = yp = zp = d

  37. Homogeneous Coordinate Form • Consider q = Mp where

  38. Perspective Division • However w 1, so we must divide by w to return from homogeneous coordinates • This perspective division yields the desired perspective equations • We will consider the corresponding clipping volume with the OpenGL functions

  39. OpenGL Orthogonal Viewing glOrtho(xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,near,far) glOrtho(left,right,bottom,top,near,far) nearandfarmeasured from camera

  40. OpenGL Perspective glFrustum(xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,near,far)

  41. Using Field of View • With glFrustum it is often difficult to get the desired view • gluPerpective(fovy, aspect, near, far) often provides a better interface front plane aspect = w/h

  42. Normalization • Rather than derive a different projection matrix for each type of projection, we can convert all projections to orthogonal projections with the default view volume • This strategy allows us to use standard transformations in the pipeline and makes for efficient clipping

  43. Pipeline View modelview transformation projection transformation perspective division 4D  3D nonsingular clipping projection 3D  2D against default cube

  44. Notes • We stay in four-dimensional homogeneous coordinates through both the modelview and projection transformations • Both these transformations are nonsingular • Default to identity matrices (orthogonal view) • Normalization lets us clip against simple cube regardless of type of projection • Delay final projection until end • Important for hidden-surface removal to retain depth information as long as possible

  45. Orthogonal Normalization glOrtho(left,right,bottom,top,near,far) normalization  find transformation to convert specified clipping volume to default

  46. Orthogonal Matrix • Two steps • Move center to origin T(-(left+right)/2, -(bottom+top)/2,(near+far)/2)) • Scale to have sides of length 2 S(2/(left-right),2/(top-bottom),2/(near-far))

  47. Final Projection • Set z =0 • Equivalent to the homogeneous coordinate transformation • Hence, general orthogonal projection in 4D is

  48. Oblique Projections • The OpenGL projection functions cannot produce general parallel projections such as • However if we look at the example of the cube it appears that the cube has been sheared • Oblique Projection = Shear + Orthogonal Projection
